The Isle of Wight came together today (Remembrance Sunday) to honour and remember those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts past and present.

Commemorative events across the Island were well-attended, from church services to wreath-laying ceremonies.

Hundreds of Islanders watched and clapped as soldiers, cadets, veterans, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Brownies, Rainbows, Girls Brigade and the police paraded the streets.

The County Press has been covering events on the Island today in our live Remembrance Weekend blog.

In Newport, two parades, one led by the Royal British Legion and another by the council’s mace bearer, united in St Thomas’ Square for prayers, followed by a two-minute silence at 11am, signalled by a bugler.

The tradition has continued into the modern day with nationwide events and the annual Poppy Appeal.

Tomorrow (Monday, November 11) is Armistice Day, which commemorates the signing of the armistice between the allies of World War One and Germany, bringing an end to the four-year conflict.

Thank you to everyone who shared their Remembrance Day photos with us.
